Do it Again: How to Achieve Rigorously Reproducible Research II
Symposium — Monday, April 23, 2024 — 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM — Convention Center, Room 25A
Trainee Advisory Committee — Chair: Ryan Downey — Co-Chair: Ijeoma Obi
Scientific progress relies on experiments being rigorously designed and conducted in a manner that is reproducible by other scientists. In response to the growing awareness concerning the need for science to meet these criteria, the NIH introduced a new initiative to improve reproducibility and transparency in late 2013. Accordingly, new policies and guidelines have been implemented in pursuit of this goal. Despite informational resources disseminated by the NIH and societies such as the American Physiological Society, researchers and trainees are still asking, “How can I make my data more rigorous and reproducible as well as fulfill the new NIH guidelines required for grant submissions?”
To address this question, this trainee symposium will feature speakers across three days to deliver critical points and considerations on topics that trainees and established scientists can immediately apply in their current research to increase the rigor and reproducibility of their experiments. Each speaker will address a key topic including: 1) Experimental Design and Analysis, 2) Publishing and Results, and 3) Meeting New Funding Requirements for Rigor & Reproducibility. To this end, speakers are experts in both identifying reproducibility problems in science and creating programs and policy to improve scientific rigor. Each presentation will consist of a 1-hour presentation with plenty of time for your questions.
